On this day in 1776, the Declaration of Independence was approved by
the Continental Congress, setting the 13 colonies on the road to
freedom as a sovereign nation. As always, this most American of
holidays will be marked by parades, fireworks and backyard barbecues
across the country. Here in State College we have one of the country's most
Spectacular Firework displays. There will be events, music and more up and around Beaver Stadium all day on Saturday. Go up early and enjoy the day. The Spikes play at 1pm and 4thFest events start at 4pm.

Aside from Penn State home football games, no other single event brings
as much excitement and energy to the State College area as the Central
Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts. The Arts Festival returns next week July 9-12 and Children's Day is July 8th. There will be Music, Kid's Activities and of course, Arts and Crafts galore!
